Charles de Bourbon, Prince de la Roche-sur-Yon, born 1515, died in 1565 in Beaupré, was a prince of the blood of the House of Bourbon.

He was the younger son of Louis de Bourbon, Prince of La Roche-sur-Yon, and Louise de Bourbon, Duchess of Montpensier.

He served with his elder brother Louis, Duke of Montpensier, in the wars against Emperor Charles V, in Provence (1536), Artois (1537), in Roussillon (1542) and Champagne (1544). He was captured near Chalons-sur-Marne. Released, he was part of the expedition charged with defending Metz, besieged by Charles V in 1552, then he joined Henry II besieging Renti in Artois.

During the French wars of religion, he served in the royal army and took part in the sieges of Bourges and Rouen (1562). A familiar of Queen Catherine de' Medici, he, unlike his brother, a moderate Catholic, opposed the party of Guise.

He married in 1544 Philippe de Montespedon, dame de Beaupré († 1578), but their children predeceased him:

  • Henry, Marquis de Beaupré († 1560)
  • Jeanne (1547 † 1548)
